Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. Using Kogelnik's coupled-wave theory we shall obtain information about the…

Silver halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) is one of the most promising techniques for the fabrication of transmission holographic optical elements, achieving relatively high sensitivity of photographic material with the low scattering and high light stability of dichromated gelatin. In this…

Photopolymers are studied as holographic recording materials for recording computer-generated phase holograms. The recording was performed using a holographic copying process, in which the master is produced by means of a high resolution graphic device. To our knowledge it is…

The kinetics of photosensitive polymer holographic recording materials are examined assuming a material that exhibits nonideal kinetic behavior. Previously, a linear relationship between monomer concentration and polymerization was assumed when deriving the nonlocal polymer-driven diffusion (NPDD) model. This is consistent…

The electronic energy loss of swift H and He ions in gold is studied, paying special attention to the contribution to the projectile energy loss due to the ionization of the target inner-shells. We calculate the stopping power and the…
